Can i use this recipe for any other light roast on a v60 or is this just for this microlot on an April brewer?
This is a great starting point for any light roast on the April. We would adjust on a V60 to compensate for the shape of the bed. The 5 pour method is our go to on V60 :)
Okay, we are all learning together with this new machine :) I was wrong, the tool and red box are for cleaning a part of the humidity sensor system. Here is a video explaining the details: czcams.com/video/1SjQnWrhD6k/video.html

So cool!! Desert Island?? Hoping for some Kenyan😊
You know us so well ❤
is it still living up to the hype?
Currently drinking a lovely Volcan Azul Villa Sarchi made with the April brewer I picked up on Friday at the Speciality Coffee Expo JHB 2024. Thanks team!!
Awesome legend!!❤
Where is a reliable source to buy this in the United States?
Unfortunately not but I’m sure Timemore would be able to assist if you reach out ✌🏻
@@BluebirdCoffeeRoastery I actually did find their website and pre-ordered it--they say it ships around May 20. I'm going to email them and ask if the $20 extra for expedited shipping is for air as opposed to by boat--with my luck I will get get a slow boat from China (Taiwan actually). (Did you get the play on words?). By the way, for many years I had an outdated world globe that labeled Taiwan as Formosa, which is what it used to be called for centuries before, I don't know, World War l. It's a Portuguese word that means beautiful island, I think.
This was the exact review I was looking for. I left the coffee industry a while ago and I think I'm just really looking for that La Marzocco feel/workflow I'm used to. Flow control is very tempting to play with, but if I'm completely honest I don't think I have the time (and maybe I'm all geeked out at this point).
Glad we could help legend!
🙌
I wish ssp would make a 78mm burr. You're stuck if they go out of business.
Let’s see if they start making them :)
I got one. The answer is a definite no, don’t buy this piece of crap. I get readings all over the place for the same sample resulting in extraction yields from 18-21% for the same sample. Save your money.
Super interesting, we haven’t had the same issue. Just wondering if it’s a unit issue. Maybe reach out to DiFluid. We don’t sell them and have no skin in the game - ours has just been pretty consistent.
@@BluebirdCoffeeRoasterythanks. Did you buy yours?
I've had my 078 for about 2 months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm making the best pour over coffee of my life. If it had an ionizer for controlling static, it would be pretty much perfect.
Epic!!
Next time I’m near Durban I’m definitely going to stop by!! I’m a bit too far though, NYC.
😂 NYC is a bit of a drive/swim
Yesss!
The boys were fired up! The goal was for both Fanie and Luhle to get to Nationals and you’ll see at the end of the vlog that they were far happier about achieving that than who actually won. Truly awesome team ❤
What have you had the dial on for a V60?
Unfortunately I don't remember exact numbers as we reviewed it quite some time ago.
Looked like he had it set to 8.5 for the cup he made at the end of the video
Such a great podcast! 🙌
🎉
🙏🏻🙏🏻
When you grind finer are u running the grinder. Because you should be
If you are asking if the grinder is running while adjusting from coarse to fine, yes absolutely :)
Tried a monolith?
Not yet. Would love to :)
Can this tool tell you the caffeine content or caffeine quantity?
Hi Ed, no. Refractometers don’t measure caffeine content.
So how do you get the most (crema.) out of a light blend? And with the Micra, what temperature do you want to set it for light blends?
Thanks for this you guys, dope content.
ooofff that is a short distance wit a scale... I have the exact same scale, how high is that cup you are using? since it's the maximum height as far as i can see with the plastic spouts. Thanks!
Best day ever!
What is best dripper ur choice now ?
We are still brewing on the April in our cafe daily :) We love it.
The most consistent brewer
Agreed!
This was a good day!

i'm waiting for it since june this year here in germany... shipping takes forever but i'm so stoked! sold my comandante c40 already because the sculptor will dominate it :) and im intrested to see if my SSP lab sweet v2 can hold up to this! exciting times adhead :)
Yessss!!
🎉
Thanks, very helpful...This Is the grinder for me🎉
Great stuff! I’m glad we could help :)
Audio is bad
We have made improvements since this video but thanks for the feedback 🤝
Which water do you use, guys and perhaps do you have a relatable grind size (clicks?). From what I understand we are looking for something on the finer end of medium fine? Thank you for your passion and your fantastic work 🫶🏼
Great review 👌 Wish you a speedy recovery. Been looking for a decent entry level espresso grinder and the ESP is on top of my list. Nice to see a fellow South African doing reviews 🙏🇿🇦
Can't wait for this one to land... I'm drinking my last cup of the Typica Mejorado as I'm watching this!
Dario has roasted your Sidra and it’ll be on its way to Munich tomorrow 🫶 We can’t wait!!
What a coffee!! ❤
Love, love, love! Banging coffee in WOC guys! And such a great time seeing Markus on the bar.
So great to share some coffee with you! Markus is the guy 🫶
🎉 this is awesome!
❤
Daily Dose is such a vibe - best place to get coffee in Durban, because they make you feel like an old friend
They are absolute legends!!
Please recommend me an affordable but durable hand grinder?
Great vid Dario. I use the Fellow Ode grinder and generally grind on a 2 or 3 for a pour-over (7 for a french press for comparison). Do you recommend coarser?
Hi Rich, I don’t have any experience with the Ode so I can’t make clear suggestions. I will say that if you follow this recipe and your brew times are over 3:30, try going coarser :)
@BluebirdCoffeeRoastery awesome thanks. I just ordered the April and beans. Looking forward to giving it a full go 👊🏼💥
@@RichMulholland Epic! I hope you enjoy both the brewer and coffee!!
Looks amazing Dario and team. Very informative video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah Luhle!!
What a coffee!!
took me right back! awesome meeting you guys and great job on the video, Katie!
What an amazing vlog! Brought back some very fond memories 🥰 I hope to meet you guys again some time 🙏
Greetings to you from South East Asia💖
Hello there!
What an amazing time!!
A good one 😌
Have you tried any other ghost burr grinders? If so, thoughts of 078 vs other ghost burr?
